Effective January 1, 2009, individuals under age 21 are no longer required to complete a screening through the preventive health program known as Health Tracks (EPSDT). All members of a TANF Household who are Medicaid eligible and under age twenty-one are encouraged to participate in the North Dakota Health Tracks Program.    

 

TANF recipients, including a Benefit Cap child, who complete the Health Tracks screening are eligible for a $25.00 reimbursement per individual, per year. The reimbursement is available after the completion of the initial screening and the annual Health Tracks screening. For this purpose, completion of the screening does not include the follow-up appointments or referrals to other physicians that are generated from a screening. If the reimbursement is received in an initial month of eligibility for TANF, the reimbursement will not be prorated from the date of application. The individual will receive the entire reimbursement for each child.
